Servitude of Their Lifetime.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Four collins sug-
gestive of yesterdays CHASTITY business
were the first objects that caught the
eye of the early morning visitor at the
Jail to-day as he crossed the courtyard.
They were designed for the bodies of
Parsons, Spies, Fischer and Engel by
the undertakes sent by the friends to
care for tn e remains, but the state sup
piled temporary collins and these were
stacked in the court. Mrs. Schwab and
Mrs. Fielder, who came to see their
husbands, saw them, and with
averted eyes passed them by. The
Jail was SOmbre place this
morning. Bailiffs, prisoners, reporters
and visitors had not yet outworn the
grewsOme scenes of yesterday. A de-
tail of prisoners in the early morning
scrubbed the Jail from top to bottom.
The last remnants of the gallOws had
been removed yesterday and packed

from their cells. Schwab looked rather
feeble. He brought down a stool and

for nearly two hours. They were sep
arated by the partition of iron bars and
wire MEETINGS. Mrs. Schwab was clad
entirely in black, and a black crepe
veil fell in folds from her bonnet,
In memory perhaps of the previous
days sad events. Mrs. Schnaubelt
seemed the more deeply affected, and
from time to time wiped tears from her
eyes. The wild and frolicsome little
girls raised an uprOar in the cage with
their gleeful shouts over pennies given
them by the bailiffS or over pictures
drawn for them by the reporters. They
were happily unable to understand their
fathers fate. Before the parting
Schwab fondly kissed the children
many times and Rugged them, and re-
tired sadly to his cell. Mrs. Schwab re-
tired weeping. Fielden, until his wife
came, paced the corridors with
QUICK AND NERVOUS STRIDES.
He would walk half way around the
cell house, approach with down cast
eyes the spot where the gallOWs had
stood and then turn abruptly around
and repeat. Several times he was
called to by newspaper men. He did
not respond or stop in his walk. He
was either buried in gloomy thoughts.
or he would not hear. At 10 O'Clock
Mrs. Fielden came. She carried baby
in her arms, and with her was a neigh

them goodbye.

he regretted the death of Spies very
much and wished that his life had been

A moment later he remarked: "They

IF Gleason.
Fielden called Bailiff Pearce and
asked to see that his clothing and
papers were sent to his wife. He was
told that his wishes would be followed.
Schwab made the same request. The
men then made their way awkwardly
down the steps into the jail court, their
walking being very much impeded by
the leg irons. They took the back seats
